Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to Electrophtography photosensor, have the imaging processing box and the electro-photography apparatus of Electrophtography photosensor; in more detail; relate to and on cylindric support, have photographic layer, protective seam successively; and the external diameter of this cylindric support is less than the Electrophtography photosensor of 30mm, and relates to imaging processing box and the electro-photography apparatus with this Electrophtography photosensor.
Background technology
In recent years, along with image high quality and high durableization of high speed, use the electrical material of organic light-guide the electrophotographic photoreceptor also be required further to improve mechanical endurance.
And, in recent years, though use the electro-photography apparatus such as printer, duplicating machine and facsimile recorder of Electrophtography photosensor to can be used for various fields, and often stable image can be provided in more various environment, people have proposed stricter requirement to these equipment.
Electrophtography photosensor since directly apply electricity with the external force of machinery, therefore require permanance to them.Specifically, require, and require because the ozone that produces when charged and the deterioration of adhering to the superficial layer that is caused of oxides of nitrogen isoreactivity material etc. have permanance for surface abrasion that causes by friction and scratch.
And then, for Electrophtography photosensor, need repeat charged, exposure, development, transfer printing, cleaning and remove step such as electricity.Electrostatic latent image charged and that exposure forms makes it become toner image by toner.And then this toner image is transferred to by transfer device on the transfer materials of paper etc., and not only all toners are transferred, and some remains on the Electrophtography photosensor as remaining toner.
If this amount of remaining toner is many, it is bad that transfer printing promptly takes place, and the image that at this moment transfer materials will take place forms so-called pit shape, and not only the homogeneity of image is not good enough, but also the problem that sticking or film forming take place to melt on Electrophtography photosensor toner can occur.For these problems, require the release property of the superficial layer of raising Electrophtography photosensor.
In order to satisfy above-mentioned requirement, people have carried out being provided with the trial of various protective seams.In the various trials, it is the protective seam of major component that great majority propose with resin (sticking and resin).For example, the spy opens and discloses in the clear 57-30846 communique and can come the protective seam of CONTROL VOLUME resistivity as electroconductive particle by add metal oxide in sticking and resin.
In addition, proposed curable phenolics is used for the scheme of protective layer used resin in the special fair 6-82223 communique.But for the Electrophtography photosensor of putting down in writing in this communique, because fluorocarbons is dispersed in the protective seam, so the transparency of the resin of protective seam reduces, 1 point (dot) repeatability of image is poor.
The fundamental purpose that metal oxide is scattered in the protective seam of Electrophtography photosensor is the specific insulation of control protective seam itself; to prevent along with carrying out repeatedly of the electrophotographic processes rest potential in the Electrophtography photosensor being increased, the preferred specific insulation of the protective seam of Electrophtography photosensor is known as 10
10~10
15Ω cm.
But, the specific insulation of above-mentioned scope, the specific insulation of protective seam is subjected to the influence of ionic conductance easily, and therefore, along with the variation of environment, there is the tendency that great changes will take place in specific insulation.Especially, when being scattered in metal oxide in the protective seam, because the water absorptivity height of metal oxide surface; so in various environment; when carrying out the electrofax step repeatedly, the specific insulation of protective seam be remained in the above-mentioned scope, still very difficult up to now.
Especially, under high humility, placement can make specific insulation slowly reduce, and owing to the active substance of charged ozone that produces and oxides of nitrogen etc. adheres to from the teeth outwards repeatedly, the specific insulation that causes the Electrophtography photosensor superficial layer thus reduces or toner reduces from the release property of superficial layer, so-called image takes place move good inadequately etc. the problem of image, homogeneity with defective such as image blurring.
In addition, generally when making particle be scattered in the protective seam, make incident light generation scattering in order to prevent dispersed particle, the particle diameter of particle is preferably also little than incident light wavelength, promptly is preferably below the 0.3 μ m.
But, metal oxide particle has the tendency of cohesion usually in resin solution, be difficult to disperse equably, even in case disperse, therefore also cause secondary aggregation or precipitation easily, will stably produce film that the particulate of particle diameter below 0.3 μ m disperse well and be unusual difficulty.
And then, consider from the transparency and the inhomogeneity viewpoint of conduction that improve protective seam, the special little ultramicron (the one-level particle diameter is below 0.1 μ m) of preferable particle size, but the dispersiveness of this ultramicron and dispersion stabilization have the tendency of further deterioration.
In order to remedy above-mentioned shortcoming, for example the spy opens to disclose in the flat 1-306857 communique and is added with fluorine-containing silane coupling agent, titanate esters coupling agent or C
7F
15The protective seam of compounds such as NCO; the spy opens and discloses a kind of handle in the clear 62-295066 communique and be scattered in the protective seam that forms in sticking and the resin by metal particle or the metal oxide microparticle that hydrophobic treatments has improved dispersed and moisture-proof, the spy open disclose in the flat 2-50167 communique a kind of carried out with titanate esters coupling agent, the silane coupling agent that contains fluorine atom and acetyl aluminum alkoxide diisopropyl acid esters the surface-treated metal oxide microparticle be scattered in glue and resin in and the protective seam of formation.
In addition, as in protective seam, containing charge transport examples of substances with hydroxyl, the spy open have in flat 10-228126 communique and the flat 10-228127 communique of Te Kai etc. open.
In addition, as the example of the sticking and resin that phenolics is used for protective seam, in the spy opens flat 5-181299 communique etc., have open.
But present present situation is, even these protective seams, can not obtain to meet in recent years to high-durability, image high quality desired to the surface various impacts and permanance, the release property of the generation of abrasion, scuffing.
And then, because the demand of saving spatialization is improved day by day, therefore must reduce the size of electro-photography apparatus body.For this reason, must make the Electrophtography photosensor that meets body dimension, so the diameter of Electrophtography photosensor must dwindle.
But, according to above-mentioned demand, both made Electrophtography photosensor harder than had in the past, abrasion performance better protection layer, make the Electrophtography photosensor minor diameterization just have very large difficulty again.
Electrophtography photosensor for the diameter that generally adopted in the past; though there is not problem as described above; but owing to minor diameterization causes producing big stress in protective seam; therefore when carrying it in electro-photography apparatus; protective seam just bears the load that bears from Charging system, developing apparatus, transfer device etc. and parts that Electrophtography photosensor directly contacts, and its result will be owing to adding the problem that the little scar that brings man-hour causes protective seam to be peeled off.This problem becomes more remarkable when curable resin being used as the sticking and resin of protective seam.
And then, because Electrophtography photosensor is a minor diameter,, need Electrophtography photosensor to rotate many times usually therefore in order to export an image, this just makes Electrophtography photosensor bear bigger load.
In addition, when reducing the elastic deformation rate of protective seam in order to relax stress, the additive that Electrophtography photosensor is just being drawn attached to the toner on the protective seam rotates in the same old way, and this just becomes the reason that produces dark cut, thereby can not play the effect of protective seam.
And then in the image output, the temperature in the electro-photography apparatus has the tendency of rising, and along with the temperature in the electro-photography apparatus rises, Electrophtography photosensor also heats up thereupon, because the coefficient of thermal expansion of protective seam and photographic layer is different, makes two-layer adaptation variation.At this moment, owing to bear the state of load and adaptation difference on the Electrophtography photosensor, make protective seam peel off.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to solve the above problems; even a kind of photographic layer and protective seam of forming on the cylindric support of minor diameter is provided; protective seam can not take place yet peel off and melt stickingly, have the Electrophtography photosensor of good scratch resistance and abrasion performance protective seam, the imaging processing box with this Electrophtography photosensor and electro-photography apparatus.

Detailed Description Of The Invention
Below explain the present invention.
Among the present invention, the mensuration of coefficient of thermal expansion uses Seiko electronics industry (strain) system TMA/SS150 to carry out.TMA/SS150 is according to the thermal expansion of sample and shrinks the device of investigating change in size, can measure expansion coefficient expansivity, glass transition, softening, swelling, ess-strain and stress mitigation etc.
When utilizing TMA/SS150 to measure coefficient of thermal expansion, consider the shape of Electrophtography photosensor, select pin to go into the mensuration of formula, loading is 500mN, and pin contacts with the level pressure of photographic layer with 49.03mN, when sample expands, pin is the situation of up-down vibration how, plots figure.And, carrying out under 170 ℃ of processes from room temperature (23 ℃) with 5 ℃/minute speed intensification.
When measuring,, observe the situation that sample expands along with intensification, in that (occasion of lamination-type photographic layer is a charge transport layer up to photographic layer even in arbitrary occasion.Below identical) the scope of glass transition temperature (Tg) in, sample expands with direct ratio.Then, if surpass the Tg of photographic layer, then photographic layer is softening soon, and pin enters photographic layer.
Therefore, about the method for asking of the coefficient of thermal expansion among the present invention because before the Tg of photographic layer resin, be exactly before softening point; sample is that direct ratio expands; like this, can draw proximal line earlier, obtain its slope; with the slope that obtains; when when protective seam is measured, remove with protective seam and photographic layer aggregate thickness at room temperature, and when after removing protective seam, measuring; then only remove with photographic layer thickness at room temperature, the merchant of condensation is coefficient of thermal expansion.
Measuring the poor of the numerical value that obtains after why adopting the numerical value that measure to obtain from protective seam and removing protective seam, is exactly because the influence negligible cause of the lower floor of support and photographic layer to expanding.Herein, the lower floor of so-called photographic layer when photographic layer is lamination-type, also comprises charge generating layer.
In addition, among the present invention, when peeling off protective seam, adopt mechanical grinding method to remove.
Among the present invention, the coefficient of thermal expansion of measuring from protective seam (α 1) and remove the coefficient of thermal expansion (α that measures behind this protective seam

The details of this problem still can not be illustrated; but can think; this is because the difference of the coefficient of thermal expansion of protective seam and photographic layer is little; even when in the machine of the electro-photography apparatus that possesses Electrophtography photosensor, heating up; because bonding mutually exceedingly, make the cause that the power that receives from contact component etc. can not be disperseed smoothly.
On the other hand, the difference of coefficient of thermal expansion is 1.0 * 10

-1When above; in case built-in temperature rises to a certain temperature; then because the difference of coefficient of thermal expansion makes the adaptation variation of protective seam and photographic layer, and owing to the curvature of the support of Electrophtography photosensor is big, so protective seam can be against stress fracture but stripped down from photographic layer.
In addition, by the coefficient of thermal expansion (α that measures on the protective seam

The elastic deformation rate of measuring from protective seam (We%) is greater than 30%, less than 60%.
Among the present invention, the mensuration of elastic deformation rate uses the sclerometer Fisher scope H100 of Fisher German company system to carry out.Below be referred to as the Fisher sclerometer.
Measuring environment all is 23 ℃/55%RH.
Adopt the assay method of the scleroscopic elastic deformation rate of Fisher, it or not Vickers hardness (microvickers) method as in the past, by with pressure head pressing in sample surface, obtain the method for hardness with measurement microscope residual pit after removing load, but apply assumed load to pressure head by stages, electrically detect the compression distance that reads under the state when being pressed into epithelium, that apply loading, obtain the method for continuous hardness.
Particularly, the mensuration of elastic deformation rate is following carries out like that.
Be to apply loading on 136 ° the diamond penetrator with the angle, opposite at the tip of quadrangular pyramid, be pressed into film 1 μ m, reduce loading then, measure loading and become compression distance and loading at 0 o'clock.
Fig. 4 provides and uses above-mentioned Fisher sclerometer, measures to be pressed into the example of 3 μ m when dark.
Point A is for measuring starting point, and A → B is and the corresponding curve of being pressed into of pressure head.Some when point B sets compression distance for arriving maximum, the curve of B → C is " recovery " the corresponding curve after being pressed into pressure head.At this moment, the amount of work We of elastic deformation (nJ) represents that with the area that the C-B-D-C in scheming surrounds the amount of work Wr of plastic yield (nJ) represents with the area that the A-B-C-A in scheming surrounds.
Elastic deformation rate (We%) among the present invention is obtained with following formula.
We%=We/(We+Wr)×100
In general, elasticity is to make the restorable character of its strain owing to object that external force is subjected to strain (distortion), and this object surpasses elastic region or still residual a part of strain after eliminating external force under other the influence, is the plasticity part.In a word, the We% value is big more, means that the elastic deformation part is big more, and the We% value is more little, means that the plastic yield part is big more.
We% means the elastic part deficiency in the protective seam 30% when following, and protective seam is crisp, and in the image output procedure, the additive of toner etc. is pressed against on the photographic layer, becomes the reason that scar occurs.
On the other hand, We% issues the produced film phenomenon 60% when above in high humility.
Its details still can not be illustrated at present, but can expect, if the elastic deformation part is excessive, then various particulates are embedded in the protective seam, because the plasticity composition is few, can not eliminates smoothly, thereby this position as starting point the film forming phenomenon is taken place.
In addition, the elastic deformation rate (We%) from protective seam is measured is preferably greater than 35%, less than 55%.
In addition, in image forming course, if the parts that contact with Electrophtography photosensor contact Electrophtography photosensor more strongly, above-mentioned variety of issue will appear significantly.Therefore, for Charging system be contact electrification device with live part of the configuration of contacting with Electrophtography photosensor, wherein this live part is for only applying a kind of like this system that DC voltage makes the parts of electrophotographic photoreceptor belt electricity, the regulation that satisfies above-mentioned coefficient of thermal expansion and elastic deformation rate is a particular importance.And then, between live part and Electrophtography photosensor, getting involved the such system of charged particle, be more importantly.

Embodiment 2
The summary that Fig. 3 illustrates the electro-photography apparatus of the imaging processing box with Electrophtography photosensor of the present invention of equipping the charged particle feedway constitutes.
The Electrophtography photosensor 31 of cylindrical shape drives with the certain speed rotation according to the direction of arrow.
Charged roller 32 with Charging system, by charged particle 33 (being used for making the electroconductive particle of electrophotographic photoreceptor belt electricity) with constitute as the resistive layer 32b of particle carrier and metal-cored 32a.Charged roller 32 contacts with Electrophtography photosensor 31 with certain intrusion amount, forms contact site n.
Charged roller 32 among the present invention program, the middle resistive layer 32b of formation rubber or foaming body on metal-cored 32a, and then load is held charged particle 33 and is constituted on its top layer.
Middle resistive layer 32b is formulated by resin (for example polyurethane), electroconductive particle (for example carbon black), vulcanizing agent and gas-development agent etc., presses the roller shape and form on metal-cored 32a.Then, lapped face.
Charged roller in the present embodiment is with respect to the charged roller in the embodiment 1 (discharge charged roller), different in the following areas.
(1) top layer is used for the surface structure and the roughness characteristic of the highdensity charged particle of carrier band
(2) inject charged necessary resistance characteristic (specific insulation, surface resistance)
Its surface of charged roller of discharge usefulness is smooth, and the average roughness Ra on surface is that roller hardness is also very high below the submicron order (sub μ m).For adopting the charged of discharge, electric discharge phenomena are that the gap location that leaves tens of μ m in the contact site of charged roller and Electrophtography photosensor a little causes.Charged roller and Electrophtography photosensor surface exist when concavo-convex, because part electric field intensity difference, make the electric discharge phenomena instability, thereby take place charged irregular.Therefore, the charged roller surface that must have smooth and high rigidity of discharge usefulness.
The charged roller of discharge usefulness can't be injected charged the reasons are as follows: by above-mentioned surface structure, though seem in appearance to be closed state with drum, with regard to electric charge injects microcosmic contact on the needed molecular level, then almost be not really contact.
On the other hand, because therefore the charged roller 32 of injecting charged usefulness carrier band charged particle 33 to high-density requires to have roughness to a certain degree.Average roughness Ra is preferably 1 μ m~500 μ m.During less than 1 μ m, be used for the surface area deficiency of carrier band charged particle 33, wait when adhering to the roller surface at insulant (for example toner) simultaneously, its periphery is difficult to touch Electrophtography photosensor 31, thereby easily makes the chargeding performance reduction.On the contrary, if surpass 500 μ m, then the concavo-convex interior charged homogeneity of face of Electrophtography photosensor that easily makes on charged roller surface reduces.
The mensuration of average roughness Ra can be used surface shape measuring microscope VF-7500, the VF7510 of Keyence corporate system, uses 1250 times~2500 times object lens, carries out the shape on roller surface and the mensuration of Ra non-contactly.
The charged roller of discharge usefulness is after forming low-resistance basic unit on metal-cored, again with resistive formation lining surface.Because the roller strap electricity of discharge generation if apply the voltage height, and has pin hole (support that the epithelium damage causes exposes), and voltage reduction and charged bad all can take place around it so.Therefore, its skin resistance is preferably 10
11More than the Ω.
On the other hand, for injecting charged mode, because it is charged to utilize low-voltage to carry out, therefore not needing to make the top layer is high resistance, can constitute charged roller with individual layer.Charged for injecting, the surface resistance of charged roller is preferably 10
4~10
10Ω.If surface resistance surpasses 10
10Ω, the homogeneity in then charged reduces, because the inequality that the charged roller swiping causes makes the medium tone image striated occur, thereby image quality is reduced.And surface resistance is less than 10
4During Ω,, also take place easily because the peripheral voltage that the pin hole of Electrophtography photosensor causes reduces even charged for injecting.
And then, for specific insulation, be preferably 10
4~10
7The scope of Ω cm.Less than 10
4During Ω cm, the supply voltage that easily takes place to be caused by pin hole reduces.And surpass 10
7During Ω cm, be difficult to guarantee the necessary electric current of hot line job, electrified voltage is reduced.
The resistance measurement of charged roller carries out in the following order.
The mensuration of roller resistance is that installing electrodes on the insulator drum of external diameter 30mm so that the metal-cored 32a of charged roller 32 is applied the loading that general pressure is 1kg, at the configuration protection electrode on every side of central electrode, is measured thus.Distance between central electrode and the guard electrode is adjusted to about the thickness that is approximately elastic layer 32b, with respect to guard electrode enough width is arranged to guarantee central electrode.By power supply central electrode is applied+voltage of 100V, measure the electric current that flows through galvanometer Av and As, measure specific insulation and surface resistance respectively.
For injecting charged mode, the function that live part has as soft electrode is important.In magnetic brush, the flexibility that is had by magnetic particle layer itself realizes.In the present embodiment, reach by the elastic property of resistive layer 32b in adjusting.Asker-C hardness is preferably 15 degree~50 degree, more preferably 25~40 degree.If hardness is too high, then can not get necessary intrusion amount, thereby can not guarantee and Electrophtography photosensor between contact site n, so chargeding performance reduces.And, owing to can not get the contact of material molecule level, therefore, foreign matter the contact that has hindered its periphery such as sneak into.On the other hand, if hardness is low excessively, therefore shape instability then, with to be produced pressure by contacting of electrified body inhomogeneous, thereby takes place charged inhomogeneous.Perhaps cause the roller permanent strain, thereby take place charged bad owing to placing for a long time.
As the material of charged roller 32, can enumerate the elastomeric material that in EPDM, polyurethane, NBR, silicon rubber and IR etc., is dispersed with conductive materials such as the carbon black that is used to adjust resistance or metal oxide and forms.Can not disperse conductive material yet and use the material of ionic conductivity to adjust resistance.Then, carry out as required surfaceness adjustment, carry out moulding by grinding etc.In addition, charged roller also can utilize the multilayer of function separation to constitute.
As the form of roller, the more preferably structure of porous body.Obtain above-mentioned surfaceness in the roller moulding, this point also is favourable on making.As the cell diameter of foaming body, be advisable with 1~500 μ m.After the foaming,, make it expose the porous body surface, can make surface structure thus with above-mentioned roughness by grinding its surface.
Charged roller 32 is configured to respect to Electrophtography photosensor certain intrusion amount is arranged, form contact site n, sentence direction (reverse) rotation opposite at this contact site n and drive, contact with the face of certain velocity contrast with Electrophtography photosensor 31 with the sense of rotation of Electrophtography photosensor 31.In addition, when the image recording of printer, charged roller 32 is applied the charged bias voltage of regulation by charged bias voltage additional power source S1.Have same polarity and current potential on the side face that charged mode makes Electrophtography photosensor 1 to inject thus.
Charged particle 33 is added in the toner and accumulates, and with the development of toner, is fed on the charged roller 32 by Electrophtography photosensor 31.
As supply mean, be that restriction scraping blade 34 is contacted with charged roller 32, between restriction scraping blade 34 and charged roller 32, keep charged particle.Along with the rotation of Electrophtography photosensor 31, a certain amount of charged particle 33 is coated on the charged roller 32, arrives the contact site n between charged roller 32 and the Electrophtography photosensor 31 then.
For obtaining highly charged efficient and charged homogeneity, the particle diameter of charged particle 33 is preferably below the 10 μ m.Among the present invention, the particle diameter when charged particle constitutes condensed matter is the mean grain size of condensed matter.The following mensuration of particle diameter: utilize electron microscope observation, extract more than 100, calculate volumetric particle size distribution, determine with its 50% mean grain size by horizontal direction maximum diagonal length.
Charged particle 33 does not just exist with the state of one-level particle, is condensed into secondary sometimes yet, but no problem yet.No matter be which kind of state of aggregation, as long as this cohesion physical efficiency realizes the function of charged particle, its form is unimportant.
Charged particle 33 is preferably white or near transparent, so that do not hinder the sub-image exposure particularly when being used for Electrophtography photosensor charged.And then, consider that a part of charged particle is transferred on the transfer materials P from Electrophtography photosensor 31, in the colour record, preferred colourless or white charged particle, in addition, the light scattering that charged particle 33 causes when preventing image exposure, its particle diameter are preferably constituting below the pixel size, and then preferably below the toner particle diameter.As the lower limit of particle diameter, consider stably to obtain particle that the lower limit of particle diameter is exceeded with 10nm.
